Class DefaultJPQLQueryHelper

  org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.AbstractJPQLQueryHelper
      org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.DefaultJPQLQueryHelper

public class DefaultJPQLQueryHelper
extends AbstractJPQLQueryHelper

This helper can perform the following operations over a JPQL query:

• Calculates the result type of a query: AbstractJPQLQueryHelper.getResultType();
• Calculates the type of an input parameter: AbstractJPQLQueryHelper.getParameterType(String).
• Calculates the possible choices to complete the query from a given position (used for content assist): AbstractJPQLQueryHelper.buildContentAssistProposals(int).
• Validates the query by introspecting it grammatically and semantically:
  • AbstractJPQLQueryHelper.validate(),
  • AbstractJPQLQueryHelper.validateGrammar(),
  • AbstractJPQLQueryHelper.validateSemantic().

This helper should be used when the JPQL query is written using the JPQL grammar defined in the Java Persistence functional specification 1.0 or 2.x.

Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Constructor Detail

DefaultJPQLQueryHelper

public DefaultJPQLQueryHelper(JPQLGrammar jpqlGrammar)

Creates a new DefaultJPQLQueryHelper.

Parameters:

jpqlGrammar - The JPQLGrammar that will determine how to parse JPQL queries

DefaultJPQLQueryHelper

public DefaultJPQLQueryHelper(JPQLQueryContext queryContext)

Creates a new JPQLQueryHelper.

Parameters:

queryContext - The context used to query information about the JPQL query

Method Detail

buildBasicRefactoringTool

public BasicRefactoringTool buildBasicRefactoringTool()

buildContentAssistVisitor

protected AbstractContentAssistVisitor buildContentAssistVisitor(JPQLQueryContext queryContext)

Creates the concrete instance of the content assist visitor that will give the possible choices based on the position of the cursor within the JPQL query.

Specified by:

buildContentAssistVisitor in class AbstractJPQLQueryHelper

Parameters:

queryContext - The context used to query information about the JPQL query

Returns:

A new concrete instance of AbstractContentAssistVisitor

buildGrammarValidator

protected DefaultGrammarValidator buildGrammarValidator(JPQLQueryContext queryContext)

Creates the concrete instance of the validator that will grammatically validate the JPQL query.

Specified by:

buildGrammarValidator in class AbstractJPQLQueryHelper

Parameters:

queryContext - The context used to query information about the JPQL query

Returns:

A new concrete instance of AbstractGrammarValidator

buildJPQLQueryContext

protected JPQLQueryContext buildJPQLQueryContext(JPQLGrammar jpqlGrammar)

Creates a context that will be used to store and retrieve information about the JPQL query.

Specified by:

buildJPQLQueryContext in class AbstractJPQLQueryHelper

Parameters:

jpqlGrammar - The JPQL grammar that is required for dictating how the JPQL query will be parsed. It is also used by validation and by the content assist

Returns:

A new JPQLQueryContext

buildQueryBuilder

protected IJPQLQueryBuilder buildQueryBuilder()

Creates the right IJPQLQueryBuilder based on the JPQL grammar.

Returns:

A new concrete instance of IJPQLQueryBuilder

buildRefactoringTool

public RefactoringTool buildRefactoringTool()

Creates the concrete instance of the tool that can refactor the content of a JPQL query. This version provides a way to manipulate the editable version of the JPQL query (eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.model.query.StateObject StateObject and simply outputs the result of the refactoring operations, i.e. the updated JPQL query).

Specified by:

buildRefactoringTool in class AbstractJPQLQueryHelper

Returns:

The concrete instance of RefactoringTool

See Also:

#buildSimpleRefactoringTool

buildSemanticValidator

protected DefaultSemanticValidator buildSemanticValidator(JPQLQueryContext queryContext)

Creates the concrete instance of the validator that will semantically validate the JPQL query.

Specified by:

buildSemanticValidator in class AbstractJPQLQueryHelper

Parameters:

queryContext - The context used to query information about the JPQL query

Returns:

A new concrete instance of AbstractSemanticValidator
